Hi Pilgrim,
Yeah,
Michael did a great job on the band removal. Unfortunately there isn't a lot you can do about the fact that the tree appears to have been sawn off. That sort of detracts from the natural look. Still a great image, captive or not.
I was extremely lucky a few weeks ago. While tracking down a Heron in my kayak, I came across something I have never seen in the wild. See my image of an immature Bald Eagle, posted a couple of weeks ago. I got a lot of pretty good shots of it, but I'm wondering if I will ever see it again.

Thanks so much for the kind words.....
I think you did a great job with the band

are limited at best. Thanks for the tip Ill
give it a go and see if I can come close.
Have not used the healing brush much so who
knows! lol
Really appreciate your time effort on my behave!

I just put it into photoshop and cloned away. I think it would look okay as long as you don't get to close. I cloned from the bottom of the foot to the top for the left side of the foot. then I took out part of the band with clone from the dark area in between the legs. finally I healed and blurred some of the pixels just to make them blend some and hopefully get that wrinkly effect from their feet. May sound like a lot, but it took a few minutes. It is a really great shot. I love bald eagles, and for most of us it is so hard to photograph one in the wild. This is a great one from captivity.
